Quote by -Bill Gates
In my contact with people, I find that, as a rule, it is only the little, narrow people who live for themselves, who never read good books, who do not travel, who never open up their souls in a way to permit them to come into contact with other souls – with the great outside world.
Quote by -Booker T Washington
We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary
Quote by -Booker T Washington
I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.
Quote by -Rumi
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
Quote by -Buddha
There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read.
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
There are books in which the footnotes, or the comments scrawled by some reader's hand in the margin, are more interesting than the text. The world is one of those books.
Quote by -George Santayana
“Altogether, I can't imagine technology replacing bookstores completely, any more than movies about a country replace going there.”

Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the highest civilization, the book is still the highest delight. He who has once known its satisfactions is provided with a resource against calamity.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“With freedom, flowers, books, and the moon, who could not be perfectly happy?”

Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry.”
Quote by -Emily Dickinson
Options – the ability to choose – is real power. This book is all about how to see and create those options with the least effort and cost. It just so happens, paradoxically, that you can make more money – a lot more money – by doing half of what you are doing now.
Quote by -Tim Firris
It took me 40 years to write my first book. When I was a child, I was encouraged to go to school. I was not encouraged to follow the career of a writer because my parents thought that I was going to starve to death.
Quote by -Paulo Coelho
